Lost shoes near Fort Boreman Park, Parkersburg
I realized my shoes were gone after a jog along the Ohio River at Fort Boreman Park around 6:20 p.m. this past Tuesday. I had kicked them off to cool down and left them by the bike rack near Market Street, then I went to grab a quick coffee, and when I came back they were nowhere to be found. They're gray sneakers with a bright blue stripe and a small dent in the left toe—the kind I wear every day to and from work. I’m feeling worried and a little foolish, like I’m missing a small piece of my routine.
LOST: Carry-ons in Parkersburg-Marietta, West Virginia
While strolling along the Parkersburg riverfront near Fort Boreman Park at 4:50 p.m. on Tuesday, I realized my two carry-ons were missing from the hotel luggage cart. One bag is black and rolling, the other a charcoal grey with a red zipper and a worn tag. I must have set them down while I grabbed a quick coffee at a cafe along Grand Street, and now they’re gone. They’re not just luggage; they hold clothes and mementos from my trip, and I’m anxious about their safety and hoping someone nearby picked them up and will return them through this site.
Lost handheld and console near Fort Boreman overlook
I was at the river overlook at Fort Boreman Park in Parkersburg-Marietta, West Virginia, United States, around 7:15 PM on Friday when I realized my handheld console was missing from my bag. I must have set it down on a bench near the railing while I checked a map and took a photo of the river. It’s more than a gadget to me; it keeps my late-night sessions alive after long shifts, and I feel unsettled without it. If you happened to have picked it up or seen it on that bench, I’d be grateful to see it returned to its owner.
Chargers found near Smoot Theater, Parkersburg.
This morning around 9:20 a.m., I found a bundle of phone chargers by the riverfront behind the Smoot Theater on Market Street in Parkersburg. They were tucked under a bench in a gray backpack, tangled with a few USB cables. They look recently used, with a couple of frayed ends but no obvious owner info. I’m keeping them safe here in case the rightful owner checks the post and recognizes the cords or brand badges.
Lost small sculptures near downtown Parkersburg
Last Friday around 4:30 p.m., I lost three small sculptures downtown Parkersburg near the Smoot Theatre on Main Street. They’re bronze-toned figures about six inches tall, with a weathered finish that catches the light when the sun hits the plaza. I spent weeks shaping them and they feel like part of me whenever I work. If someone found them, I hope they’re safe and that the site can help bring them back to me.
Lost: work cases near Market Street Bridge
While walking along the riverfront near the Market Street Bridge in the Parkersburg-Marietta area around 7:45 a.m. today, I realized my work cases were gone from the bench where I’d been organizing papers. The cases are two black leather briefcases, professional-looking but worn at the corners, with a zipper pouch and a set of USB drives inside. They contain materials for client meetings and are irreplaceable to me because they’re tied to a critical project this week. I’m hoping someone picked them up and kept them safe until I can reclaim them.
Lost Breeds near Blennerhassett ferry dock
Friday around 6:15 PM, I realized my Breeds was missing along the Parkersburg riverfront near the Blennerhassett Island ferry dock. It’s a small weathered folder with a blue cover and my initials on the spine. I retraced the riverwalk toward Market Street, hoping the wind hadn’t carried it away toward the food trucks. I’m anxious and hopeful—this folder holds notes I’ve poured countless hours into, and I’d hate to lose it forever.
Lost bus tickets in Parkersburg-Marietta
Those bus tickets are mine, and I’m not sure where they went. I realized around 5:45 PM on Friday, near the Parkersburg Transit Center's Market Street entrance, that my tickets weren't in my pocket anymore. They were two white slips, one with a red stamp and perforated edges, the other a crumpled slip for the 6:40 PM bus home. I retraced steps along Market Street, past the riverfront and the brick kiosk, hoping they'd be on a bench or by the curb, but the evening stayed quiet. I’m anxious about missing my ride after a long week of classes. If you found something like that near the Market Street entrance, please help me reunite with them.
FOUND: Holiday Decorations along Parkersburg riverfront
Hi, I’m Olivia Turner. I found these holiday decorations today along Parkersburg’s riverfront, around 4:30 p.m., near the Blennerhassett Island overlook. The items include a red-and-green garland, a small wreath, and a tabletop snow scene with blinking lights. They looked recently left behind, the LEDs still twinkling in the late-afternoon breeze off the Ohio River. I could imagine a family getting their porch ready for a winter display, and it warmed me to see something festive found on the ground instead of lost. I kept the pieces together and placed them where a passerby could spot them, hoping the owner sees this listing and reclaims them.
Lost Postcards in Parkersburg downtown
While wandering Parkersburg's historic downtown today, I realized my postcards are missing. I was along Market Street near the Blennerhassett Hotel around 2:40 PM, taking photos and chatting with a friend, when I must have dropped the stack somewhere between 3rd and 4th streets by the riverfront. The cards are small, with handwritten notes on the backs and a couple of travel stamps from last summer. They’re sentimental, and I’d love to have them back so I can finish writing to my grandmother tonight.
FOUND: Student ID near Parkersburg City Park.
I found a Student ID on the Riverfront Trail near Parkersburg City Park in Parkersburg-Marietta, West Virginia, United States around 4:15 PM on Saturday. My heart sank a little—it's a personal card and could hold someone else’s clearance and class access. I tucked it safely into my jacket and posted here so the owner can claim it through the site. I hope this helps the rightful student get back what's theirs, especially after a long day of classes.
Lost equipment for various sports near Fort Boreman Park
I was playing a casual pickup game at Fort Boreman Memorial Park around 5 PM when the match ended and I hurried to grab my gear. In the rush, my equipment for various sports didn’t make it back into my car. The bag contains soccer cleats, a basketball, and a blue gym bag with my initials. Losing it has me anxious about the upcoming season, and I keep replaying the moment I realized it was gone. If you found anything matching this description by the riverfront near Fort Boreman Park, please drop a note.
Lost DVDs near Smoot Theatre, Parkersburg.
I lost my DVDs around 2:15 p.m. last Saturday near the Smoot Theatre on Market Street in Parkersburg-Marietta, West Virginia. They were in a black plastic case with a few scratches along the spine, tucked in a tote bag I was using for errands. I retraced the blocks between the theatre and a nearby cafe, asked a couple of clerks, and spoke to a passerby, but nothing turned up. Those films mean a lot to me and our small movie nights, so I’d be grateful to have them back. If you found them, they’re waiting by the Smoot Theatre on Market Street until someone claims them on the site.
Lost: Organizers near Riverview Park, Parkersburg
I was volunteering at a small outdoor meetup in Parkersburg's Riverview Park, part of the Parkersburg-Marietta metro area, around 6:40 PM on Monday when my tote of organizers disappeared from the wooden picnic table near the riverfront. The Ohio River glowed gold as the sun sank behind the bluffs, and my heart sank with it. Those organizers are the setup kit I use to keep cords, labels, and tiny clips tidy for tomorrow’s workshop, and losing them means a scramble I could do without. I retraced my steps along the path by the benches and the gazebo by the boat launch, but there was no sign of them. If you spotted a black tote with a bright orange Organizers label near the river, please keep an eye out in that area.
Blue budgie parakeet with red leg band
I lost my blue budgie parakeet yesterday around 4pm near Riverfront Park on Market Street in Parkersburg, right by the river walk benches. It's a small bird, mostly blue with a white belly and subtle black wing markings. It has a bright red leg band with the number 42 on it. This bird is the family's little chatterbox—my daughter named it Sky—and it means a lot to us, especially since we just moved here last month. If anyone spots him or finds him perched in a yard or tree, please reach out. We'd be forever grateful.
